I was involuntarily listening to two old ladies talking loudly to each other the other day. One, to the astonishment of the other, said she had never had a chip butty.
Being a true man of the world, I have had many chip butties in my time.
FYI, if needed, a chip butty is chips (ie french fries, NOT crisps) sandwiched between bread slices or in a bap/bun. Arguably it should be buttered, but we will ignore that for the purposes of the following poll:
Q. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A CHIP BUTTY?
@Nickiquote I did give a 70 year old English man his first chip butty recently. I was shocked.

@Nickiquote does it count if it’s mashed potatoes instead?

I've never heard of a chip buddy but I'm going to count something I've made at a barbeque trying to have normal looking food as a vegan. I think the bun is pretty close to white bread..

Non-UK folks may see references to names for bread that may need explaining. There are many local / regional names for a bead roll and many styles too, these can include, but are not limited to: rolls, buns, baps, barms, barm cakes, cobs, batch and stotties. Any can be used for a chip butty. Anything from two slices of mass produced white sliced loaf, fancy artisan sourdough, soft flour dusted bap or crusty bread roll. Chips, between two bits of buttered bread equals a chip butty. -

@Nickiquote Buttered French fries sandwich?
How have I never heard of this? Why haven't I thought of it on my own? -

@jaybird110127 @Nickiquote @TheZooLady *does* do something similar with crisps, though usually it's crisps and something else.

There is also the chip pitta, chips in a pitta bread often available from your local kebab shop.

@Nickiquote And there was me wondering what to have for lunch today...
-
@ambientspace @Nickiquote That does sound tasty, but is much more high-brow than a chip barm. Cheap white bread (sliced or roll/barm), chips, salt and vinegar, sauce if you're nasty. For a bit of extra crunch you can get scraps on there too - the little bits of batter that have fallen to the bottom of the heated display unit in the chippy.
@bigvimto as an americanist (sorry) can I assume the 'nasty' sauce is HP or a clone?

@Nickiquote butter, mayonnaise and lots of vinegar.
-
@Nickiquote I've heard that it's supposed to be a single slice of buttered bread, folded over the chips
@sjjh @Nickiquote Not always, but it's a great way to stop the chips from falling out.

@Nickiquote I haven't, but I have had a bacon butty! Visiting family in the UK, we were on a highway and saw banners advertising them for something ridiculous like £1 at the next rest area. Nothing in the name suggested food to our American ears
Our driver felt this ignorance had to be rectified, and so we ended up with a sack of bacon butties and everybody got one and we ate them standing up outside the car, butter dripping down our hands. One of the most decadent things I've ever eaten. -
@Nickiquote Is this the origin of the Mumbai vada pav? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vada_pav
I was thinking that exactly.

@Nickiquote "No - rest of world" (Aotearoa NZ) here, but I did used to make myself leftover-mashed-potato sandwiches for my school lunches from time to time when I was a kid. We didn't get deep-fried takeaways much.

Glad to see the spirit lives on.

@Nickiquote no, but I knew exactly what it was, since I watch a lot of UK content.
I will add crisps to a sandwich that has a soft filling, like tuna salad. It gives it that perfect mix of textures.
